As the lights went out 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Toprak Razgatlioglu ma꧙de a brilliant start as he led from pole into turn one, however, drama ensued dir🔥ectly behind the Yamaha rider.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Ruben Rinaldi appeared to clip the rear of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Axel Bassani’s Ducati, whil🐈e also nearly taking out teammate Bautista.

Rinaldi suffered an immedia▨te fall after the contact was made, which was enough to end his race on the opening lap. 

With Razgatlioglu unable to break clear of Bautista, a group of seven riders including Rea, w🏅ho was at the back of the lead group, remained🐷 in contention. 

Keen to join the party at the front, Rea got stuck in as he made quick passes on 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Lowes and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Danilo Petrucci

Then came a change for the lead on lap five as Bautista hit the front thanks to a move a꧃t the very quick turn 15.

Looking tܫo respoꦫnd, Razgatlioglu was instead bumped down to third by Bassani, with the Italian making his overtake stick under braking at turn ten.

A move that looked inevitable then took place as Lowes pounced on his teamm💜ate for P5. 

Lowes’ progress then continued as he made a brilliant move on Bassani for fourth between🔯 turns 11 and 12.
